Cheddar Beach 0 - Party on Mango St.

Fun , Funny, and feels like playing through a memory . Cheddar Beach is a visual novel experience that had me crack a few smiles, I enjoyed the variety of characters, their different motivations, shenanigans, and interactions . You play as Hamston a fish out of water that's new to Cheddar Beach and hang out as his cousin Gerbert and cousins friend Bossa roam Cheddar Beach looking for a party. You run into a variety of significant and insignificant characters , one of my favorites is the Drunken Duck , and make a few choices as you experience a night along with Hamstons crew . I love the drawn art style of the characters it's simple but it almost gives the game a storybook quality , I love the cool panning background which changes in color in town that aligns with the music and scenes Hamston ends up in . the music is really strong bouncing between chill and lo-fi to much more upbeat exciting rock . I enjoy the dialogue as it reminds me of growing up in Southern California where I assume the games inspirations are based . and some real conversations I've had about family about how [ California burger classic staple ] hasn't updated their menu in decades and while californians like it that way out of towners often have strong unimpressed opinions . Altogether This is a great opening Chapter to Cheddar Beach it sets the stage for Hamston, the people who matter most to him , the vibe of Cheddar Beach , and the different characters that live there. I'm super excited to go on this journey with Hamston and get to know Cheddar Beach and the people who live there a little better in future chapters !

Fun game so far! Looks like it is coming in episodes, which I'm fine with. It was enjoyable which is wild cause I usually don't like interactive novel games. But somehow it kept me interested. Maybe the music, or style, or characters, or story. Maybe all of it. I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the next episode!
